Big thanks to Brooks and Charlie and the good folks at Tobacco Grove for a great herf. Good smokes, good people, good food, good times.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Man, I am so sad to have missed this one. Nothing like this going on in Co Sp :(

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Anyone going to the Toast Across America event tomorrow?

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Have to work tomorrow or I would. Sounds like it will be a good time.

Goodfellas Cigar Lounge in Mahtomedi (in between White Bear Lake and Stillwater) will be hosting their 2nd annual Long Ash Contest from 6-8pm on Thursday Feb 28th. Everyone will receive an Oliva Churchill and will light at the same time. Whoever has the longest ash by the end of the event will win a prize. I haven't heard what it is yet. You MN guys should swing in if you can!

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Might be able to swing this before work next week.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Just an update on the Big Ash contest at Goodfellas in Mahtomedi, the first, second, and third longest ash will receive prizes. The cigar given out for the contest will be an Oliva G Churchill. Not my favorite stick in the world, but I'm assuming he was trying to cover all levels of cigar smokers.

Bump for the Long Ash Competition at Goodfellas Cigar Lounge in Mahtomedi. Just east of 694 and Century Ave. Everyone in attendance will receive an Olive G churchill and the longest attached ash will win a prize. 2nd and 3rd longest will also receive a prize. Come on out. I will be there along with many others. If you haven't been to Goodfellas they just launched their web page at www.premiumsticks.com. There is a short video showing footage of the lounge and walk in. The contest is free by the way. :noon I'd love to see a few of the MN BOTL's show up!

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Looks like a nice place. Can't make it Thurs,but I'm going to swing in
Tues or Wed.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Awesome! It's a pretty small lounge but the walk in is really nice in my opinion. I'll be there Wed from about 2-4 I'm guessing.....

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Correction. I will be there today (Tuesday) around 2

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

That's about the same time I'll be going.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Got to meet Tim (timbo147) at Goodfellas today. Nice to meet him and it sounds like he might come around again! Nice having some other BOTL's from the board stopping by my local B&M.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

If any of you guys are coming to the Longest Ash event tonight at Goodfellas I will be there in a black Wild shirt. I say this because I don't know what anyone on here looks like.....:r 6pm is the starting time.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

I'm on the way but its probably a 45 min drive. I'll be wearing the standard purple speedo.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Finally you can wear that thing without the fear that you will show up wearing the same thing as me. Just because I won't be there. I am, of course, wearing a purple speedo.

Re: MN Cigar Events
 

Great to meet you at the Long Ash contest, Pete! A good time was had by all.
